In response to Biden saying America must “fight hate” and “anti-semitism”, Congresswoman Bobo says that those are just codewords for hating conservatives.
To which I say, yeah. That is, that is true. “Hate” and “anti-semitism” are synonyms for “Republican”.

Trump is flailing as usual over Special Council Count Dooku’s investigation. He’s tried almost everything to get it thrown out. This time he tried to speak to the Special Council’s manager, Merrick Garland, knowing that Garland is a coward.
Thankfully Garland is a coward and instead of meeting with Trump he’s been redirecting calls back to the Special Council’s office.

A good video about the idea of the US military being used to destroy the drug cartels in Mexico (and how the sack of shit known as Pooh Bear has a hand in the cartels).
I think there should be some type of military involvement to crack down because the Mexican government is to corrupt to do it themselves, but as the video describes there’s major side effects to it.

I really don’t agree that modern money is backed by the productivity of a state but I don’t have the time nor energy to get into that
@Goku Black
I disagree that they created the cartels, but drug trafficking probably has created unimaginable amounts of wealth for the cartels that they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten

While I’m not arguing that South Vietnam were “the good guys” in this conflict, using this photo to disprove it isn’t the best way to go about it.
Edited to add: For full disclosure, I will concede that at least one historian - Edwin Moise - believes that the allegation that the Viet Cong officer being shot in the photo was responsible for the murder of an entire family was a postwar fabrication and that “the truth may never be known.”

I don’t see the problem with them being synonyms.
They did just let MTG pal around with Nick Fuentes and said nothing. She yelled about jewish space lasers and nothing happened. There was no issue having Roy Moore and other probable or confirmed sex criminals run. Stephen Miller was found to frequent nazi websites and he stuck around.

Reminder the guy holding the gun was the commander of the South Vietnamese intelligence network and as such managed what was at the time the largest heroin distribution and manufacturing network in South East Asia.

It’s memory holed now but the reason Obama was able to eek out a re-election victory in 2012 despite the debt ceiling debacle a year prior was because neither Mitt Romney (“47 percent”, anyone?) nor Todd Akin could keep their mouths shut (Akin’s gaffe was also the reason Claire McCaskill’s goose was saved; she was losing in the polls before those comments, and even then there was zero reason to believe she was going to get a third term after that given how both Romney and Trump swept Missouri by landslides).
Given how Biden is nowhere near as popular among the Democratic base as Obama was, I don’t think any GOP gaffes will save him once this debt ceiling debacle is over, default or no default.

So, I hear that EU Nord Stream was apparently sabotaged by US and Ukrainian forces or something like that according to a shit-ton of accounts spamming hashtags about it to where it’s trending…
Are these all Pro-Russian Disinformation Dipshits or is there any nugget of Truth to these claims in the slightest?

Did a quick check on Google News. Multiple British papers citing a report from Der Spiegel which implicates pro-Ukrainian forces in the pipey-blowy-uppy. The prevailing theory of the case, according to recent leaks, is that a yacht called Andromeda was used to carry out the sabotage. The company that rented said boat is owned by a guy from Kyiv. And according to this latest report, the emails arranging the rental were sent from Ukraine. They haven’t completely ruled out a false flag yet, but it’s not promising.
The big question is whether the saboteurs were acting independently or with the approval of the Ukrainian government.

Similarly, it appears the Kremlin drone attack may very well have been orchestrated by Ukraine’s security services (among other covert operations on Russian soil), although it seems like Zelensky wasn’t aware of it until it was carried out (either for deniability reasons, or as I saw somewhere, as a power play from head of military intelligence Kyrylo Budanov, with which Zelensky is rumored to be at odds).

Blowing up the NS would be an incredibly stupid move for Ukraine. They are entirely dependent on Western support. They know it and care about their image a lot.
the emails arranging the rental were sent from Ukraine
This is not hard to spoof.
The company that rented said boat is owned by a guy from Kyiv.
You mean the company that owned the boat, or a company that took it for a ride?
